(Nasdaq: INTU), the global technology platform that makes TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mint and Credit Karma, today announced its commitment to helping 1 million US small businesses cut their carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. Any small business owner in the US and UK can now go to the Intuit Climate Action Marketplace, an online destination that provides resources to small businesses to reduce their carbon emissions at scale, while also helping them save money and grow their business.
